Whitebait - Indonesian Authentic Ingredients

Whitebait (ikan teri) are baby fish ranging from 1 to 2 in (2 to 5 cm) in length. They are usually sold in Asia salted and sun-dried. Discard the heads and black intestinal tracts before using. If possible, buy them split, cleaned and ready for use. They are usually quite salty, so taste any dish using whitebait before adding more salt, or soak them for a longer time to reduce the saltiness.
